  • A protein shake sounds like a good idea. I'm not worried about the surgery--just getting through my day without obsessing about eating and drinking! :) Laying around will only make it worse for me--and kind of impossible at the same time as I need to work for a few hours.
  • Holy moly! You lost an entire person!! Amazing. Your hard work has really paid off.
  • Congratulations! My suggestion as a 2-time mom? If it took 9-10 months to put the weight on, give it 9-10 months to take it off. I don't know where you live, but if you have access to a baby boot camp fitness type of class or not, I would highly recommend giving it a try. You are with other moms exercising, supporting each…
  • NE Portland :)
  • I understand what you are going through, as I have before as well! Hiring a running coach has completely helped me with this issue--and it is SO much more affordable than you would imagine. I would strongly suggest you research coaches in your area (I did a google search for my area and came up with several). Good luck!
  • 43, turning 44 this year! Feel free to add me as well. I could use the motivation. And spying on what others are eating to get some suggestions ;)
  • Turning 44 this year!
  • Rach--I would go to this in a second. *sigh* Iron Maiden was the first metal band I saw in 1985. And yes, I still remember it!
  • Thanks all for reminding me about some groups I forgot about and introducing me to ones I have never heard of before. So glad I stumbled upon this thread!
  • Odd coincidence. DH is asking me if I want to see Sabbath again; we just saw them over the summer. Hollywood Bowl, anyone?
  • Metal! Yes! Finally, people on this board who I can talk music with. Feel free to add me as well.
  • I rarely make goals but I'm going to this year! 1. Take off the weight and KEEP IT OFF! 2. Learn how to eat at maintenance (see #1) 3. Run my first Epic Relay Race (a totaly of 16-ish miles) 4. Run my first 15K in the Shamrock Run 5. Drink in moderation--I don't have an alcohol problem, but I just cannot drink as often as…

  • I'm 43 and will be happy to provide motivation! Feel free to add me as well (and that goes for anyone reading this who would like support, too)!
  • I'm new as well! Feel free to add me :)
  • Hi, all! I'm new here. I'm looking forward to reading your posts and staying motivated. My two week goal is to log consistently every day, and follow the training plan my running coach has given me. I'm hoping to stay active on my off-days from running, but I have a rotator cuff injury which pisses me off immensely, as I…
  • Whatabroad--Nah, I'm not being strict. It is more the opposite. Being gluttinous. Going from drinking 4 days a week to 7 (ouch, I know--and not heavily, but damn, 2 glasses of wine a night adds up), in addition to eating starchy carbs more often than I used to. I LOVE bread and pasta, I just can't eat it at every meal. I…
  • I've been lurking/reading/logging my food on this board for a little over a year now and finally I'm posting! I'm 43 and am sick to death of gaining and losing, over and over again. It isn't much, mind you, but I'm starting to realize that I don't have a lot of slack to play around with in terms of not paying close…
